The '''flutterbie family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}}, {{p4}} and possibly {{hp}}. It consists of small {{w|butterfly}}-like insects that pose no threat to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s. They merely flutter about, occasionally landing, and aren't worth many seeds or [[Poko]]s, but some of them can drop valuable rewards after death: [[nectar]] or a [[Spray#Spray drop|spray drop]]. Their color indicates what they might drop, if anything. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they can't be interacted with and are not logged, appearing only in cutscenes. | The '''flutterbie family''' is a family of [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}}, {{p4}} and possibly {{hp}}.

This family consists of two genera: ''Fenestari'' for [[White Spectralids]], and [[Yellow Spectralids]], and ''Fenestrati'' for [[Red Spectralids]]. | |||
In other languages of the game, the [[floaterbie family]] has the same name as the flutterbie family, so it is possible to consider that the two are one and the same, and that the English developers gave a different name to the [[Electric Spectralid]]'s family for unknown reasons, or perhaps simply due to a [[mistake]]. | In other languages of the game, the [[floaterbie family]] has the same name as the flutterbie family, so it is possible to consider that the two are one and the same, and that the English developers gave a different name to the [[Electric Spectralid]]'s family for unknown reasons, or perhaps simply due to a [[mistake]]. | ||

To note is that, similarly to the Unmarked Spectralids, every time the creatures are referred to in singular, "Spectralids" is used as opposed to "Spectralid" – unlike {{p2}}, there are sentences that explicitly use the singular form. The [[Electric Spectralid]] is the only creature to break this mold. | To note is that, similarly to the Unmarked Spectralids, every time the creatures are referred to in singular, "Spectralids" is used as opposed to "Spectralid" – unlike {{p2}}, there are sentences that explicitly use the singular form.

Two genera names are used in this family: ''Fenestari'' for [[White Spectralids]], and [[Yellow Spectralids]], and ''Fenestrati'' for [[Red Spectralids]]. Both refer to the Latin word ''fenestra'', meaning "window". ''Fenestari'' is genus shared by other Spectralids. This is a [[mistake]], as members of the same genus cannot be in separate families in real-world taxonomy. | |||
